About
I am first and foremost a Mom to three beautiful young women and wife to the best husband. And second, an avid world traveler. I have an MBA from the Univeristy of Miami with a double major in International Business and Management. Throughout my adult life, since I was 19, I have been an entrepreneur, always at the helm of a small business that would allow me the flexibility to travel and later, raise my family. I have spent the last 34 years of my life creating memories for my family and myself through travel, 44 countries so far, because I believe the world must be seen and experienced. For me, it is the most efficient and fruitful way to see and understand other cultures. In order to become an open-minded, empathetic and tolerant individual, you must learn and understand other peoples, their customs, their faiths, their food. There are so many beautiful and wonderful places to explore, let me be your guide to experiencing the marvels this earth has to offer.
Travel style
I love to travel with others, as sharing my experience is what makes me most happy. Whether it be my family of five, other couples or another family, I am passionate about organizing trips that appeal to all of the group. I love small, detail oriented, boutique hotels that are well located to get the most out of my time in a destination. I also research all of the wonderful experiences to be had and try to create an itinerary that integrates the “must sees” with some more real, local experiences. Some adventure is always to be found in my itineraries, as is a splurge hotel in at least one of the destinations, just to make things even more wonderful. A little leisure is also to be found, as traveling can be exhausting, some down time in the way of a Spa afternoon or Hammam, a walk through a park, a spot to watch the sunset or a free afternoon, are some of the ways I create a little space to relax. As a foodie, I always research in advance the best places to eat at each destination, focusing on local cuisine as well as international restaurants that stand out. I invite you to reach out to me, so that together, we can create an awe-inspiring itinerary that will stay with you always (all within your budget, of course). Check out some of my guides and itineraries to get an idea of my travel style. All of them are completely customizable and serve as an idea of what you can do in different destinations.

Marie's reviews
Marie has chosen a very nice place to stay for us. As she knows Buenos Aires and has so much experience in traveling she knew exactly what is the best location! For several reasons we had to leave one day earlier than planned and asked if there was a possibility to not charge the last night. Marie was very helpful and took care of the request so that finally we could check out one day earlier. Thank you Marie for your very professional support!!
